Ross William Hamilton
Before the start of his journalism career, Hamilton’s work was exhibited in Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, The Art institute of Chicago, and a variety of galleries in the Chicago area. Born in New York City, January 1952 to theologian William Hamilton and New York City Ballet (first company 1948, corps de ballet) dancer Mary Jean Golden, Hamilton grew up in Rochester, NY and became interested in art and photography via trips as a child to the George Eastman Museum, the MOMA, The Metropolitan Museum and the Guggenheim Museum in NYC.
Each trip to the City included the ritual of being placed by his father in front of Picasso’s Gurenica and Van Gogh’s Starry Night in MOMA then on to The Metropolitan Museum to gaze at Rembrandt’s self-portraits. Also, Yankee Stadium, another eventual source of photographic inspiration.
